1 check-in using file windows/window.c version 7c130d1ac2

Support for using variable-pitch fonts for the terminal on Windows. Done in much the same way as it is in the GTK front end: the character cell width is determined using the font's digits (which seems to give generally not-too-offensive spacing in most cases, at the expense of Ms and Ws typically overhanging a bit into adjacent cells) and each character is centred in its cell. Overhangs never leave permanent droppings on the window, because the existing work done in r5003 handles them just fine even in this stressful scenario. There's a hacky new checkbox in the Appearance panel to make variable-pitch fonts appear in the font selector (they still don't by default, because I still think it's _usually_ not What You Want); the checkbox state is not actually stored as part of a saved session, but it should be automatically ticked when reloading a session that's got a variable pitch font selected. (I'm half-expecting a potential flurry of requests for this feature in the wake of http://xkcd.com/840/ , so I thought I'd pre-empt them :-) check-in: be5245e8df user: simon tags: trunk
